Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am - | - Csus2/B | C - | - - |
| Am - | - Csus2/B | C - | - - |

[Verse 1]
Am                      Csus2/B
  You can't love your money    
    C
And also love the Lord,
                 Am
I've tried before
                         Csus2/B C
And I'll die before I try       again
Am                   Csus2/B
  You can't gain fame
       C                                Am
And it ever satisfy, I've done and tried
                        Csus2/B  C
It numbed me right down to     my bones

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am Csus2/B C
It's impossible    
          Am Csus2/B C
It's impossible    

[Chorus]
G#dim/B        Am
       I would rather die a beggar
Csus2/B   C
Than   to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
             Csus2/B           G
I didn't need       'em anyways
   Am
If no one's riding with me
Csus2/B     C
Then   I'll travel on my own
                                          Csus2/B
I'd rather lose the world before the world
    G           Am
Can gain my soul
Csus2/B C Am Csus2/B
C

[Verse 2]
Am                           Csus2/B
  I've tried to earn His love
      C
But I really dug a hole,
                  Am
the night got cold
             Gadd11               C
A mortal soul      can't bare that cross
Em7 Am                Gadd11
      My hands are red
         C                    Em7       Am
And I am guilty of a multitude   of sins
              Gadd11    C
Without the cover of His blood

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am Gadd11 C
It's impossible   
          Am Gadd11 C
It's impossible   

[Chorus]
        Am
I would rather die a beggar
Csus2/B   C
Than   to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
             Csus2/B           G
I didn't need       'em anyways
   Am
If no one's riding with me
Csus2/B     C
Then   I'll travel on my own
                                          Gadd11
I'd rather lose the world before the world
    G           Am
Can gain my soul
Gadd11 C Am Csus2/B
C

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am Gadd11 C
It's impossible   
                 Am    Gadd11         C
To gain the world  and have  your soul

[Chorus]
        Am
I would rather die a beggar
Csus2/B   C
Than   to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
             Gadd11           G
I didn't need      'em anyways
   Am
If no one's riding with me
Csus2/B     C
Then   I'll travel on my own
                                          Gadd11
I'd rather lose the world before the world
    G           Am
Can gain my soul
Gadd11 C Am Csus2/B
C

[Outro]
Am
When I die a beggar
Gadd11  C
And   I walk through Heaven's doors
         Am              Gadd11
All the evils of this rotting world
                 G
Traded for a home
Am
You can go there with me
G          C
And you'll never be alone
    C                                    G
You gotta lose the world before the world
Can gain your soul

And you'll never be alone
You gotta lose the world before the world
Can gain your soul
